I can’t believe media didn’t jump all over this when it happened in 2010
Those cops were so dirty
and that wanna be at costco who stirred the vops up needs to be shot. just a little, mayvbe in the leg
Holy Crap !!
I remember this.
“As the officer began yelling and Scott realized he was the subject of the commands, he turned, lifting his hands, and apparently tried to follow the legal requirement to immediately inform an officer that he was an armed weapons permit holder, but he didn’t have time.”
“The officer’s frantic orders lasted for a slow count of 3 and were immediately followed by the two gunshots, a momentary pause, and a volley of several more shots.”
Chickens*** cops!

As Erik Scott walked to the exit, more than a dozen police cruisers rolled up. Officers jumped out, yelled conflicting commands at Scott — “Get on the ground!” “Drop your weapon!” “Keep your hands up!” — and then shot him within two seconds of issuing those commands, Scott says, citing dispatch recordings.
Mosher, who shot and killed a citizen in 2006, shot him twice, and Mendiola and Stark shot him five times in his back, after he fell, Scott says.
Police didn’t take possession of Costco’s video until five days later, but the segments of the shooting were found to be corrupted.
The same day as the shooting, the Public Administrator, a former Vegas officer, and a police officer used a locksmith to gain entry to Erik’s condo, where they confiscated a West Point saber mounted in a shadow box and a pistol he kept in a drawer, logging those items in police reports.
But after the search was conducted, the family realized two other handguns were missing and not logged in police reports. Scott contends the cops wanted a second gun, because they claimed Erik pulled a gun on them, prompting them to fire. But that story didn’t gibe with a report medics had written for their employer, American Medical Response, saying the gun was still on Erik, when he was placed inside the ambulance. Medics gave the gun to police, and photos of the shooting scene taken by police show a handgun and a phone on the pavement, after the pavement had been washed of blood, Scott says.
Jeff Knox should ashamed for writing this BS.It is Yellow Journalism and does not reflect the facts.
Jeff Knox has put the legal carrying community at risk.
Finally a headline I can agree with.
Interesting info about the girlfriend obtaining drugs for him if true, but until I see "video" evidence of Erik acting erratically I do not believe the official version of this story. I believe, as others, it was a cop with an itchy trigger finger that killed Erik.
Erik Scott (((ping))).
DEA Agent shoots himself in the foot
Funny. Scary.
No offense to law enforcement Freepers, but, this video exemplifies "public servants" today - preaching superiority while lacking actual, demostratable experience.
I remember this story. This is the guy who was all goofed up on prescription meds and painkillers and acting in a bizarre manner while wearing a handgun, right?
